Description:
For the Month of May, 1965

During May a total of 1,681 isolations of salmonellae from human sources were reported to the Salmonella Surveillance Unit for an average weekly total of 421. This represented an increase of 103 isolations per week over April 1965, and an increase of 59 isolations per week over May 1964. This increase conforms to the seasonal pattern of salmonellosis noted in this country during 1963 and 1964.

Included in this report is a preliminary report of an extensive outbreak of Salmonella typhi-murium gastroenteritis in Riverside, California involving an estimated 18,000 persons. Salmonella typhi-murium was isolated from water samples obtained from 6 locations within the city. This water-borne outbreak of salmonellosis represents the first such outbreak in this country which has been traced to a communal water supply.
